Loving the multi device Logitech keyboards and mice

[VitoBotta]

I have two Macs: an M4 Pro Mac mini that I use as my primary machine when I'm at home, and an M3 Pro MacBook Pro for when I'm on the go. I really hate the laptop keyboard and trackpad, so I’m glad I can use the same keyboard and mouse with both computers using Logitech devices.

For the keyboard, I have both the MX Keys mini and the K780, both of which can connect to multiple devices. I prefer the K780 because it looks better and has a numeric keypad while still being compact and portable, so I'm using that one.

For the mouse, I have the MX Master 3S, but it's too big and heavy for my small hands. I've been using the M330 lately, but it’s not multi-device, so I ordered the M720 Triathlon. It’s almost as small and light as the M330 and can connect to multiple devices. It’s so nice to be able to switch between computers seamlessly with the same peripherals.

Do you work with multiple computers? If yes, do you use the same keyboard and mouse? If so, which ones?

Logitech certainly knows their user-base.

I use a Tactile Pro 4 with my Studio Desktop, but it's Logitech down the pipe for everything else.

Desk at my home office includes an M4 MBP from work as well as my personal M4 Mac Mini and Windows workstations. I use a K780 and M720, with unifying receivers in each device since it switches faster and more reliably than Bluetooth. I would love the convenience of a touch ID magic keyboard or the superior typing experience of a mechanical one. However, the ability to instantly switch between the 3 computers is invaluable.

Same keyboard and mouse then, nice! I am using the unifyer receiver on the Mini and BlueTooth on the laptop and it seems to switch right away for me. What issues did you have with BT in terms of reliability? Thanks

Switching was not as seamless as I was looking for with Bluetooth. It always worked but could sometimes take 5-8 seconds to connect, versus the unifying dongle which is almost always instant.

I sometimes find myself switching between the 3 computers dozens of times an hour, so having to wait 5 seconds each time I did became cumbersome.

Yeah I just received the M720 and I can confirm this also takes a few seconds for me to switch to BT on the laptop. For me it's OK though since I only need to switch when I am on the move or come back home, so I don't need this as often as you.
